ORDER 14 PAUL THOMPSON, 15 Respondent. 16 17 Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, filed an application for a writ of habeas 18 corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate 19 Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 20 On February 6, 2024, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein 21 which were served on all parties, and contained notice to all parties that any objections to the 22 findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. Neither party filed 23 objections to the findings and recommendations. 24 The Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 602 25 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. 26 See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). The Court 27 reviewed the file and finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and 28 by the magistrate judge’s analysis. 1 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 2 1. The findings and recommendations (ECF No. 9) are ADOPTED IN FULL; 3 2. Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 5) is GRANTED; 4 3. Petitioner’s application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 is 5 DENIED; and 6 4.
